Heartless Phoenix Queen - C192

“This matter is getting complicated and confusing.” Zi Yuan frowned. After a long while, she asked in a low voice, “Imperial Physician, did you find out what poison was on the arrow?”

“It’s a kind of snake poison. Fortunately, I have the antidote in my medicine box. Thank goodness!” The old imperial physician’s goatee rose and fell like he wanted to claim credit for his actions.

Violet Garden’s eyes quickly sized up this imperial physician and said indifferently, “Imperial Physician, you’ve worked hard. When the king wakes up, you’ll definitely receive a great reward.”

“Many thanks, wangfei! “Also, this old official has something that he doesn’t know whether he should say or not.”

“Tell me about it.”

“This snake poison is not the poison of a poisonous snake in our country, nor is it something that can be found in the Eastpan Kingdom. It is a Seven Step Silver Refined Snake that is unique to the Western Li Country.” The old imperial physician said.

“Humph, it’s west again.” Zi Yuan snorted from his nose and kept watch over Helian without saying another word. The others couldn’t figure out what she meant, so they kept silent and stood with their hands hanging by their sides.

After the Fairy Doctor brought the fried medicine and Zi Yuan personally fed it to Helian to kill the bystanders, she coldly said to Ye Blueblue Cang, “Night Blue Blue Blue Cang, you know you’re not guilty!”

Lan Cang immediately knelt on the ground and replied, “This subject knows his wrongs and shouldn’t have let the king suffer such a calamity.”

“I’ve just reunited with Helian. Even if you guys found those disorderly subjects and bandits, you could have brought them to the camp to interrogate them. Why did you insist on taking Helian Lie out of the camp?” She tried to sound calm. At this moment, the image of the unperturbed Feng Lingxue appeared in her mind. She deeply felt that compared to that shrewd person and that person, there was still too big of a gap.

“We didn’t just capture one person, we captured a group of people.” Lan Cang hesitated as he replied.

“Where’s the leader?”

“…” “Dead …” Night Blue Azure Sky also began to realize that he had made a serious mistake.

“Hmph.” So reckless! ” Zi Yuan did not know what to say to them. Whether it was due to Helian’s recklessness or because of this Lan Cang? Whenever he encountered something related to himself, Helian would always become very impulsive. He could only blame himself for feeling lazy in the morning. He didn’t ask Helian Lie a single question!

“What did you ask?”

“They’re all people from Liu Dun’s side.”

“Hmph, as expected, how did you deal with those people?”

“…” “Actually, we weren’t ambushing them on the way back. We were just interrogating them when we were suddenly ambushed …” Lan Cang was extremely ashamed. “Helian, that’s why I said you were attacked on the way back …”

Zi Yuan sighed and stroked the face of the sleeping Helian twice. This man, really …

“Who chose that address?”

“The people under me.”

“Oh, your underling is out.” Zi Yuan lightly summed it up.

The honest and honest Ye Blueblue was stunned for a moment before reacting, “I’ve thought of this possibility before, but it’s impossible for my brothers …”

“There is nothing that is impossible in this world. You can look into it. I’m tired. ” Violet Garden felt a continuous movement from He and ordered the guests to leave.

After Lan Cang said his goodbyes, Zi Yuan went up to Helian Lie’s ear and said softly, “Stop pretending.”

Helian Lie’s eyelashes fluttered twice as he laid his head on Violet Garden’s lap. He then opened his eyes and asked, “How do you know that I was faking it?”

“That imperial physician said too much.” The Violet Garden gently patted his shoulder. “Being attacked is real. Poisoning is fake. This poison isn’t some snake poison.”

“I can’t hide anything from you.” Helian Lie sighed. “This was the poison that you, Murong, had gotten you infected with in the past. Later on, I had someone specially make medicine for you to wear on your person. I didn’t expect that it would come in handy today.”

“Those people … are they really … people from West Riding Liu?”

“It should be, but the most important thing right now is that we have a spy among us. I need to feign death.”

“Pretend to be dead?” Violet Garden’s heart stirred. “That’s why you told the old imperial physician to call it snake poison, and then you pretended to die from the poison?”

“I still remember the symptoms of your poisoning back then …” Helian said softly, “Zi Yuan, I’ve always made you suffer … That’s right, Zi Yuan, let’s have the imperial physician take a look at your pulse later. Although you’ve just gotten pregnant and your body’s very healthy, I’m afraid that last night we … ”

“…” Now that you think about it… “If there really is something, I would have …” Zi Yuan couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. He gently caressed his slightly bulging lower abdomen with his right hand. “Fortunately, my body is in good condition. My child is not affected …” “I was fine even when I was in such a bumpy situation earlier …”

“I’m sorry …” Helian held Zi Yuan’s hand tightly.

“Helian, let’s go to war with Dongping.” After a long while, the Violet Garden slowly spoke. “Although I still don’t know what the young duke’s intentions are, if we continue fighting with Dongping like this, the space behind us will become empty. What if …”

“Mm, since my Violet Garden has already returned, there is no need for us to fight anymore. However, it turns out that you are going to negotiate with the Kingdom of Dongping, and in this situation, if we are going to negotiate, I am worried that the Kingdom of Dongping might not be willing to do so. Feng Lingxue on the other hand, is really a strange person. “Hmph …” “So, I still feel that it would be better to use force to conquer the East Mountain.”

“But what if it is the rebellion? Our line is too long and will be held back. Furthermore, the commoners have not been able to keep their lives. After many years of fighting, the treasury is not very full. ”

“We do need to think about this, but first and foremost, we need to find the spy that was planted between us. “Actually, I suspect that Dongping and Xi Li are secretly colluding, so I’m also waiting for an opportunity …” Helian Si smiled slyly.

“Well, timing is important. “Xuan Yi, I feel that after today, people will think that our King of Northern Yue has been poisoned, and that I am pregnant, so we can’t afford to pay for the war. Although I don’t know what that Feng Lingxue is thinking, but right now, he is our hostage, so we will use him to sign an armistice with the king of Dongping, and then …” She whispered her plan in Helian’s ear. Helian nodded repeatedly when she heard it, praising Zi Yuan for his “deep understanding of my heart.” After listening to their conversation, they fell asleep in each other’s arms.

On the other side, the loyal Ye Blueblue Cang lost sleep for the entire night. From his point of view, he was unable to understand the actions of the traitor and spy. His brother had been with him for many years, but he suddenly found out that someone had betrayed his brother and was now a spy for Xi Li. He found it hard to accept. However, reality proved that this thing had indeed happened. Moreover, the most important thing was for him to quickly find this spy, or else there would be endless troubles in the future.

He lay on his bed, worried about his good brother Helian’s injuries, worried about Zi Yuan, worried about everything that had happened recently. He lay on his bed, worried about his good brother’s injuries, worried about Helian’s injuries, worried about Zi Yuan, worried about everything that had happened recently. He hesitated, wondering if he should get up without resting. When he woke up, he heard another bad news: The imperial physician’s antidote was ineffective, and the Helian poison had been released.

Violet Garden went to Feng Lingxue’s tent with red eyes.

He was somewhat surprised to see this woman, who had always seemed so domineering, now looked so weak and helpless. All of a sudden, he felt a little out of control and a little flustered.

“Princess, would you like to drink some tea from our Eastpan Kingdom?” He made a pretence of brewing tea to cover up the rise and fall of his heart.

This time, Zi Yuan didn’t refuse and just quietly sat to the side. Just like yesterday, he quietly watched as the fragrant tea was brewed using his set of brewing procedures.

“Princess, try it.” Feng Lingxue looked at Zi Yuan with hope, but didn’t answer the question Zi Yuan asked right after coming in.

The Violet Garden looked at him with a bit of grief, then she picked up the tea bowl and finished it in one gulp.

“Princess, you shouldn’t drink so much tea.” Feng Lingxue sighed.

“Zi Yuan’s husband is in danger right now, so how could he be in the mood to drink tea? Zi Yuan came to discuss things with Master Hou, but only because he is a friend who shared hardships with Master Hou. Master Hou, on the other hand, is making fun of him …” “Forget it, right now, we, the North Yue, have no mood to continue fighting with you, Dongping. There’s no need to keep you under house arrest. Master Hou, you should leave.” As she spoke, Zi Yuan stood up.

Feng Lingxue hurriedly stood up and held her sleeve. “Esteemed wangfei …” Realizing that his actions were a bit abrupt, he courteously cupped his hands and said, “Brother Helian’s poison can only be found in the westerly Murong Clan. Now that the westerly Murong Clan has submitted to the Northern Yue Clan, wouldn’t it be more convenient for Princess Wangfei to go to Murong for the antidote?”

“Although Xi Li has pledged his allegiance to us, there are still plenty of people who are unconvinced. Otherwise, Zi Yuan wouldn’t have suffered the fate of falling into the trap of hunters together with Master Hou. Master Hou also wouldn’t have known that the soul of Zi Yuan did not originate from this place, but from the future. If the Zi Yuan can find Murong, why would you ask the Marquis? ” Previously, Helian Lie did not hesitate to throw a country’s worth of troops to attack Dongping for her sake. But now, in order to cure Helian Jin, she actually put down her pride and came to beg this person who had once not looked down on her.

“Zi Yuan has heard that the king of the Eastern Ping Kingdom has some relationship with Murong. Who knows, the king of the Eastern Ping Kingdom might even be able to obtain the antidote for this poison?” If the East Pingguo can cure Helian’s poison, we, the North Vietnamese, will withdraw our troops and return to our former borders. Master Hou, you can also return home as soon as possible and reunite with your family … ” Seeing that Feng Lingxue was slightly moved, the Violet Garden immediately said these few words before adding, “If Master Hou is unable to help, the day when the Violet Garden’s husband dies is the time of the destruction of the Eastern Ping Kingdom!” Finished speaking, she turned around and resolutely left, leaving that goddess-like Feng Lingxue standing there in a daze.

In fact, she came to find Feng Lingxue only to find an antidote and to find an excuse for a truce. However, this truce could not be so inexplicable as to have the king of the Eastern Ping Kingdom fear the Northern Yue State and lay the groundwork for its rule in the future. Therefore, he decided to take advantage of Helian Lie’s act of playing dead to carry out his plan. In the meantime, he was also able to probe Feng Lingxue’s background. It was truly like killing multiple birds with one stone.

The only ones who knew that Helian was pretending were the old imperial physician, Zi Yuan, and Helian trio. If he knew the truth, Helian Lie might not be able to continue acting, so he simply did not tell him about it. Moreover, they wanted to use this matter to find the traitor, and if Ye Lanqing knew that Helian Lie was pretending to be dead, then Helian Lie would not be able to do his best to find the person who betrayed his brother.

The old imperial physician had confirmed that the king’s poison was the same as the poison in the Purple Garden a few years ago. It would die within ten days, and now a day had passed, so he only had nine days to find the antidote.
